This tree has suffered from enthusiastic string trimmer, getting to close and damaging the young tree and weak bark. The tree will heal, although it will bear an ugly scar. Prune that horrible, solitary branch going to the left.

Yea I’m tracking that. I said that in my post, that my son ran into it with a mower/weed eater. Prune it, why? That’s my kids future tire swing branch.
